About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose Escalation Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of EZN-2968, a Locked Nucleic Acid Antisense Oligonucleotide Against Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α, Administered as a Weekly 2-Hour Intravenous Infusion in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma

This is a Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, tolerance, and pharmacologic profile of EZN-2968, a locked nucleic acid antisense oligonucleotide against hypoxia-inducible factor 1α administered as a 2-hour intravenous (i.v.) infusion weekly for 3 weeks per 6-week cycle. In patients treated at a recommended Phase 2 dose of EZN-2968, dose intensification will proceed by maintaining the dose, but gradually increasing the number of doses per 6-week cycle. Up to 3 intensification cohorts will receive the recommended Phase 2 dose of EZN-2968.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intravenous EZN-2968 (anti-HIF-1α LNA AS-ODN)Drug

    IV infusion of EZN 2968 given in 6 week cycles for (3 weeks on 3 weeks off) until recommended phase 2 dose identified. Up to 3 intensification cohorts will receive the recommended Phase 2 dose of EZN-2968.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of EZN-2968.

    Measured: January 2011

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile; Determine the PD profile.

    Measured: June 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Intravenous EZN-2968 (anti-HIF-1α LNA AS-ODN) in people with Carcinoma and Lymphoma, run by Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of EZN-2968. (time frame: January 2011). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2011.
